§ 9. Mr. PETOasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in the case of non-commissioned officers who have been reduced in rank owing to some fault and who are subsequently wounded and discharged as unfit for service, he will consider the possibility of reinstating them to the rank of which they had been deprived and allowing them the pension appropriate to it?
§ Mr. TENNANTNo general rule to the effect suggested, irrespective of the circumstances of the individual case, could be made, and of course a man who has been already discharged cannot now be promoted. If the hon. Member has any particular case in view, perhaps he will communicate with me.
